BReplacing Fuse
The tractor electrical system is protected from potential
damage by fuses.
A blown fuse indicates that there is an overload or short
somewhere in the electrical system.

the same capacity.
A Before replacing a blown fuse, determine why the fuse
blew and make any necessary repairs. Failure to
follow this procedure may result in serious damage to
the tractor electrical system. Refer to the
"TROUBLESHOOTING" section of the separately
